On behalf of SmartCraft, I thank Gunnar for his valuable contributions to the company. Over the last year, since Mette joined the Board, she has proven to be a dedicated and visionary Board member. I look forward to working even closer with her in her new capacity as Board chairperson,” says CEO of SmartCraft Gustav Line.
SmartCraft’s largest owner Valedo Partners III AB, holding 39.6 percent of the shares and votes of the company, supports the recommendation to elect Mette Kamsvåg as the new chairperson of the Board of SmartCraft.
